i booted from cd and userinit is in system32.
The boot cd was not a xp pro cd and doesnt have regedit on it.
what got deleted was the registry entry.
I have another xp pro system, if i put hard drive from thedamaged system in this one would i be able to repair the registry?

My system came preloaded with windows xp pro. i didnt get a cd with it was a used computer.
As for the boot cd i used it was one created with magic iso as per instuctions of Logs on and off topic.
it did allow me to boot to a recovery console and i extracted userinit.exe to system32.
Still having same proplem. I am missing the registry key for userinit not the file itself.
Can I add the registry key i need to the iso?
